Huawei (华为) adds two new colors to Pura X wide foldable; 16GB+512GB priced at RMB 7,999

What happened

It has been reported that Huawei (华为) used its Pura series and all‑scenario launch event to refresh the Pura X wide foldable with two new finishes: "Stylish Purple" (型格紫) and "Stylish Orange" (型格橙). The company is offering the 16GB + 512GB configuration at RMB 7,999. The handset ships with Huawei’s HarmonyOS (鸿蒙) 6.1.

Design and hardware

The new "Stylish Purple" version pairs a white front panel with a two‑tone deep and light purple rear and an all‑gold middle frame; "Stylish Orange" keeps a black front and uses orange + beige on the back. Pura X originally launched in March last year and features a 3.5‑inch 1:1 external screen and a 6.3‑inch 16:10 inner “wide” display with a 2120×1320 resolution, 1–120Hz LTPO 2.0 adaptive refresh, up to 2,500 nit peak brightness and HDR Vivid support — reportedly offering about a 30% improved viewing experience over traditional 16:9 panels for video and documents.

Why it matters

Who is this aimed at? Premium domestic buyers who care about novel form factors and distinctive styling. For Western readers: HarmonyOS is Huawei’s in‑house alternative to Android (鸿蒙), part of the company’s broader push to control both software and hardware. Geopolitics still looms — U.S. export controls have constrained Huawei’s access to some advanced components — but the company continues to iterate on industrial design, display innovations and software features to defend its home market and appeal to style‑conscious users.
